Tyson Fury has put forth a hilarious prediction for a hypothetical fight between Jake Paul and John Fury. Paul has long been at odds with John Fury's younger son and Tyson Fury's half-brother Tommy 'TNT' Fury.

Paul was previously scheduled to face 'TNT.' However, their fights fell apart on two separate occasions. 'The Problem Child' was in attendance for Tommy Fury's most recent fight, an exhibition boxing bout against Rolly Lambert. The matchup transpired at the Floyd Mayweather vs. Deji boxing event earlier this month and saw Fury outwork Lambert in a relatively uneventful affair.

In the aftermath of the fight, the 23-year-old 'TNT' dared Paul to fight him, as did his 58-year-old father. John Fury, a bare-knuckle boxing veteran and former pro boxer, indicated that he'd be willing to face Paul in a bare-knuckle fight as well.

In the latest edition of The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, heavyweight boxing great Tyson Fury was questioned about who he sees winning a fight between Jake Paul and John Fury. 'The Gypsy King' responded:

"I think my dad would rip his [Paul's] heart and feed it to him, and the man's nearly 60 years old. I think my dad and Jake Paul should have a bare-knuckle fight but to the end... That would be a spectacle. And I would give 100 dollars to see it, pay-per-view."

Jake Paul reveals the timeline for his next fight

Jake Paul is fresh off a unanimous decision victory in his most recent fight, a professional boxing matchup against MMA legend and former UFC star Anderson Silva. Following his impressive performance against Silva in October, the cruiserweight boxer has been linked to potential matchups against a trio of well-known combat sports personalities.

It's believed that Paul's next boxing match could be against archrival and fellow young pugilist Tommy Fury. Alternatively, Paul has also expressed interest in boxing MMA megastar and former UFC fighter Nate Diaz. Furthermore, Diaz was at the Paul-Silva boxing event and even got into altercations with Paul's entourage backstage.

Paul has also hinted at boxing former kickboxing champion Andrew Tate. Paul revealed that he'll return in February 2023 and purportedly has three possible opponents on his radar. Moreover, boxing journalist and reporter Michael Benson tweeted the following earlier this week:

"Jake Paul has said his next fight will take place in February and added that he'll be sending out offers to three potential opponents tomorrow."
